Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu reiterates threat to look elsewhere for new fighter jets if Turkey isn’t allowed to buy new F-35.
“You don’t buy a product to keep it in a box,” Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told a press conference. US officials had lately suggested Turkey could be spared sanctions – automatic for countries that buy Russian weapons – if it did not activate the system. “It’s concerning,” US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Tuesday. “But we have made very clear to the Turkish government our desire to see them move away from the putting into full operationalisation of the S-400 weapons system.”
